Today I was more than happy to be part of the jury which honoured the best science journalists in Argentina. Having said that, I´m a bit depressed about the impact of science and medical writers from the-rest-of-the world on the recruitment process being held at top US and UK companies. If you do not have a working visa, you are dead. So where is the so much published diversity and equal opportunity values out there? What is the importance of expertise in any field when you´re looking to pursue a career abroad? It´s really disgusting to have to click a box where you DECLARE that you are not entitelded to work at UK or US. In my view, you are entiteled if you are capable of doing the job or, even more, excell the natives. I´m even tired to write in English when Spanish is one of two or three more important languages in the world. Lesson: maybe you are brilliant enough, but you were born in the wrong place. Never the matter, I love Buenos Aires a bit more than I love London and Mallorca and Oxford and Bologna and Boston and New York and San Francisco and Egypt, which are the favourite places in the-rest-of the-world for me.
